A Davis County man pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $1.7 million from his employer for his own benefit.
Timothy Sean Edgar, 44, of Farmington, was charged on March 11 for wire fraud and money laundering.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office District of Utah, Edgar defrauded his employer to obtain money and property by "stealing and lying" from 2021 to October 2024.
As part of his scheme, he allegedly fraudulently opened a sales channel through a popular online marketplace and used his employment credentials to access the vendor portal and redirect Automated Clearing House payments to his personal bank account.
He then made payments back to his employer using his personal credit card.
In total, Edgar embezzled approximately $1,778,251 from his employer, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
